Rifaximin works locally in the gastrointestinal tract. It binds to the beta-subunit of bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibiting bacterial RNA synthesis.

Its non-systemic nature ensures that it targets harmful gut flora without affecting the rest of the body, reducing the risk of systemic side effects.
